Cyber-Physical Systems Technologies: Applications in Industry and Education

Abstract

Industry 4.0 concept development forms new trends as cloud computing,  big data analysis, the industrial internet of things, machine-to-machine technologies. Cyber-physical systems (CPS) paradigm is based on these trends and integrates of computation, networking and physical processes. Synergy Center at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University works in the areas of intelligent systems for data processing and control, motion control systems for robotics, complex automation and mechatronics as components of CPS.
